Q: President Barack Obama took an evening away from politicking Sunday to honor top artists -- and crack some jokes. Obama received the five Kennedy Center honorees at the White House before the annual gala that honored this year Tom Hanks, Sting, Al Green, Lily Tomlin and ballerina Patricia McBride. Sting got a presidential mention not just for his chart-topping music career, but also for his stage name. "Now, not everybody can pull off a name like Sting, but this guy can. His wife, Trudie, calls him Sting. Apparently his kids call him Sting," Obama said to laughs at the White House reception. "'POTUS' is a pretty good nickname -- but let's face it, it's not as cool as Sting. I kind of wish I was called Sting."Obama's nickname-of-choice? Apparently, it's "Sting"President Obama may have dished out jokes Sunday, but Michelle Obama is apparently "the most powerful and influential""There she is...next to the President, which I assume means she has no future plans to run for office" Stephen Colbert joked

Q: (CNN) The estimated 22,000 attendees of the Rotary International Convention were quick to their feet Monday morning in Atlanta. Inspiration for the many standing ovations came not only from the encouraging words of Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, professional wrestling star John Cena, Rotary President John Germ and famed Microsoft founder Bill Gates. It was also the sight of observers in wheelchairs lining the middle rows of the Georgia World Congress Center auditorium that moved the crowd to rise from their seats again and again. The Rotarians, wearing glowing LED bracelets, came to Atlanta to commit once again to the elusive goal they first outlined in 1985: a world free of polio, the highly infectious disease that invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. The disease can be prevented by a safe vaccine, which can protect a child for life when given multiple times.In 1985, polio paralyzed more than 350,000 children in 125 countries every yearLast year, just 40 cases were reported worldwide
